Where All Good Things Begin...
14 Rooms began years ago with a Dream
and more than a bit of inspiration!
“Look, we’re all the same; a man is a 14 room house - in the bedroom he’s asleep with his intelligent wife, ...in the library he’s paying his taxes, in the yard he’s raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he’s building a bomb to blow it all up.”
Our early vision was to foster in the artist (& their audience) stimulating experiences leading to further exploration, discovery, curiosity and creativity... a vision based on the assumption that creative self-expression is valuable in our lives beyond the confines of the creative space. We have worked in many areas in promoting the arts and educational opportunities.
Our creative efforts are currently focused on our primary Educational Outreach project… Your Shakespeare Lady. This work combines many of our passions… art, education, and an approach to learning and teaching the deep value and understanding of life and the nature of man that only William Shakespeare can teach us.
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. ”
The Elusive Shakespeare
Last Will and Testament, available on Amazon Prime, brings Derek Jacobi leading an impressive cast in search of the world's most elusive author and uncovers a truth that could rewrite history. Among the many aspects of the controversy surrounding Shakespeare’s life, this small film brings forth these thoughts of his unique wisdom: Every thought you have ever had is in Shakespeare’s work, Every emotion you have ever felt is there because he lived every emotion, and expressed them in his work. He expressed things that were previously unsaid because no one had ever had the gift of putting into words the inexpressible. These were Shakespeare’s gifts, and they flowed mightily from his pen.
